Chess.com Daily

The /daily page on Chess.com serves one tactic per day. A welcome window sums up the promise with the question “How many moves does it take,” and warns that the difficulty increases over the week, from Monday to Sunday. The puzzle of the day carries a date and a title, sometimes with a short introductory line.

1. Open the page: the Daily Chess Puzzle window restates the instruction; close it with Ok.
2. Find the combination on the displayed position, counting the number of moves it requires.
3. If stuck, the puzzle panel offers a Hint button.

It’s the shortest tactical rendezvous there is: a position, a combination, and a difficulty ramp tied to the days of the week.

The welcome instruction directs players to count moves before even touching a piece, and a Monday puzzle is not comparable to a Sunday puzzle.

Puzzle of the Day

A daily tactic, the same for everyone, with a difficulty announced as increasing from Monday to Sunday.

• The welcome window asks the right question before the right answer: ask yourself how many moves the combination requires before touching a piece, it’s the cue the game itself highlights.
• If you’re discovering this daily feature, start at the beginning of the week: the difficulty is announced as rising from Monday to Sunday, which provides a gentle ramp-up.
